Goldie  did do well , now I know why you wanted a "goldie foal" for so long .

Congratulations to u and goldie on the arrival of Louie

He is absolutely beautiful!!  She really did well, and he is so pretty....or I better say HANDSOME !!

Goldie and Banner did awesome!  Can't wait to see HIM in the ring, too!!

[Holly]

Amazing Lil guy!! Super happy for you!

[Rocklone]

Louie is hilarious. He has goldie wrapped around his little hoof. He literally makes her move to him (why should he have to go to her?!) and if she's not giving him
Enough attention he will bite her face and buck at her. He very much the entitled son 😂

Vet check up tomorrow (throwing money to the wind some may say but hey ho it's my money to throw) will let you know how it goes.

Nothing wrong with getting a vet check!  Always better to be safe than sorry.

That is such a cute story about him.  These are "entitled" times!!   Guess it's just not the 2 legged kids!

[Ryan]

Absolutely second the Vet check  

[Rocklone]

Vet check all went well. His joints are all fine, eyes and gums all good and his little umbilical and man bits good, no temps and very healthy little colt. Vet was in love, and said when the next one comes she MUST be requested for the foal check lol (she hugged charm, and felt movement too so im not crazy, there is something in there, but just have to figure out when its coming now lol)

[dcwolcott]

Great new on Louie!!!

And on Charm!

[Ryan]

All good news

I have left a night light on since Louie was born, but left it off tonight. Poor Lou is a bit put out! He walked into the wall (and got a telling off from mum for being stupid and headbutted away from it) and can't see what end of mum is what lol

How do these things ever survive in the wild where there are trees and rocks all over the place and mum is always moving or suddenly running away from dragons?!

[dcwolcott]

Makes you wonder for sure!   Especially being flight animals!  But the good Lord watches over all of us, no matter how "smart" we are! LOL

They do develop "night eyes" - but it takes being in the dark to learn to adjust and it does take time, LOL.

I'm pretty sure they also develop "body radar" with their bodies learning where things are and they do get hurt sometimes in the dark if running in new areas.  That's why I always try to introduce new items in the pasture or a new pasture completely during the daylight with plenty of time for them to get used to moving around.

That said, I managed to not close a panel properly the other day when got a hay delivery.  I had two mares out.  One with her foal still in the pen (pretty upset - understandably), the other not having foaled yet.  They got out in the dark and the mare that hasn't foaled yet must have run into something.  The swelling is going down with cold hosing 3x daily & saline flushes several times while i'm out there.  No injury appears to be to the eye - just above it...

And I KNOW we must be due some new pictures of this little guy!!!
